This game is a lot of fun IF you know what to expect. I'm so tired of seeing new releases compared to Gears / Halo / MW2 / Uncharted. "Oh, it doesn't follow this formula, let's give it a 2!" Well, not every game is going to be life-changing.
Yes, there are a limited amount of weapons, and yes the controls do feel a bit. . .slippery. But you can easily adjust the sensitivity sliders to compensate, and just have fun with this one. The graphics do lack that "next-gen" polish, but it's fairly engaging overall from start to finish. Also, it's the same voice actor, reportedly cast for Dark Void prior to the Uncharted series. His voice talent breathes life into his character, and the in-game banter may even make you laugh out loud at points.
Bottom line: Stop comparing every game to the "Big 4". Be thankful that there are companies out there giving IP's a chance. At least Dark Void is trying something new, though still is being beat up for it in the process. Should it have spent a little more time in the oven? Of course. But aren't most games these days guilty of the same? If a sequel is released, I'm definitely looking forward to it.
Worth a rental at least. Decide for yourself. You may be pleasantly surprised.
